E-TA2012 T 7DB N6 RF Attenuator Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The E-TA2012 T 7DB N6 is a 7dB RF attenuator manufactured by Nidec Components Corporation, designed for applications requiring signal attenuation across the 0 Hz to 3 GHz frequency range. This component operates at 50 ohms impedance with a power rating of 63mW in a compact 0805 (2012 metric) surface-mount package. The part is currently classified as obsolete, making identification of parametrically equivalent substitutes essential for ongoing production support and design continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the E-TA2012 T 7DB N6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Attenuation Value: 7dB (exact match required)
• Frequency Range: 0 Hz ~ 3 GHz (exact match required)
• Impedance: 50 Ohms (exact match required)
• Power Rating: 63mW (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 0805 (2012 Metric) (exact match required)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (exact match required)

All three substitute parts from Susumu meet these criteria and are classified as parametric equivalents. The substitutes are available in active product status with current inventory, providing reliable alternatives to the obsolete main part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three Susumu substitute parts (PXV1220S-7DBN1-T02, PXV1220S-7DBN2-T02, and PXV1220S-7DBN3-T02) are direct parametric equivalents to the E-TA2012 T 7DB N6. Selection among these substitutes may be based on inventory availability and supply chain considerations:

• PXV1220S-7DBN1-T02: 1485 pcs in stock
• PXV1220S-7DBN2-T02: 630 pcs in stock
• PXV1220S-7DBN3-T02: 751 pcs in stock

All substitutes maintain ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 export classification consistent with the original part. The active product status of all three Susumu alternatives ensures long-term availability and supply continuity compared to the obsolete Nidec part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PXV1220S-7DBN1-T02, PXV1220S-7DBN2-T02, and PXV1220S-7DBN3-T02 be used interchangeably with E-TA2012 T 7DB N6?

A: Yes. All three Susumu parts are parametric equivalents meeting identical electrical specifications (7dB attenuation, 0 Hz ~ 3 GHz frequency range, 50 ohms impedance, 63mW power rating) and mechanical requirements (0805 package, MSL 1). They are suitable for direct substitution in applications where the original part is specified.

Q: What is the difference between the three Susumu substitute parts?

A: The three Susumu parts (PXV1220S-7DBN1-T02, PXV1220S-7DBN2-T02, PXV1220S-7DBN3-T02) are parametrically identical. Differences are limited to inventory levels and internal manufacturing lot designations. Selection should be based on supply availability and lead time requirements.

Q: Are the substitute parts available in the same packaging format?

A: The Susumu substitutes are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. The original E-TA2012 T 7DB N6 packaging type was not specified in available documentation. Tape & Reel packaging is standard for high-volume surface-mount assembly and is compatible with automated pick-and-place equipment.

Q: Do the substitute parts maintain the same compliance certifications?

A: Yes. All three Susumu substitutes are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, matching the original part. Export classification (EAR99) and tariff codes (HTSUS 8533.21.0020) are identical across all parts.

Q: Why is the original E-TA2012 T 7DB N6 classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer manufactured by Nidec Components Corporation. The three Susumu alternatives maintain active product status, ensuring continued availability for new designs and production support.
